He pulled out the flamer he hated using and powered it up anyway, before confirming his intentions with his next words. "It seems the Pirates are not going to take the opportunity before them to surrender. Despite my words earlier, I will be pulling my weight and using the flamer; what is the enemy thinking, sending [i]infantry[/i] against mechs?" Alvin detested burning people to ash, but he set several clusters of jetpack-using daredevils (?) on fire with a single sweep anyway; war itself was detestable but the nature of Humans made it so that they had to fight even when it was not in their best interests. Even as the glow of enemies who had been turned into crude blowtorches faded into the cold skies, the youth was already shooting a laser into the VTOL swarm, a laser that missed due to bad aim at the last moment, before firing at the Hunchback's left leg and finally scoring a hit. His next words were, "Sorry for getting distracted by the VTOLs and Infantry; on the plus side, I did score a hit." With a cold smile, the young man then playfully stepped his machine aside to allow Fuka a clearer shot at the large, unwieldy enemy mech, knowing full well that despite their differences, the Dragon had the heavy firepower to make bringing down their foe a reality. [i]Huh, would you look at that; I ran out of things to do except to watch as Fuka does what she does best; shoot straight with a crippled mech.[/i] He had mixed feelings about the sole female pilot in the group, leaning towards a desire to make her acknowledge him by showing undeniable proof he had improved. Let her underestimate him once more as he snuck his way to improved skills and progress - He will prove himself [i]strong[/i].
